Now I know this is incredible forward thinking, but we like organisation and we like to get things planned well in advance to make the most of the brains, enthusiasm and community out there. In January, ArtHistoryProject launches Photography month. If you haven't already seen the happenings over there then do go and take a peek (Digital Month is about to start!) and explore some of the fabulous articles that have been shared already. What we are looking for is anyone who has a topic they can write about, a favourite photographer, a favourite photographic style, techniques, programs and all sorts of other bits that you could put together a nice historical article about. Featuring current works that are a tribute to old styles or long forgotten legends is also encouraged and even interviewing the up and coming community of the photography world now too!

:bulletblack: Pick a topic and give us an overview about what you want to write - as much detail as possible!
:bulletblack: Choose approximate dates in January that you would like to be able to submit your article. Alternatively if you are unsure of availability, you could write an article and we could submit it crediting you as the author.
:bulletblack: Send a note over to ArtHistoryProject with all of the above included!

There are LOADS of things you could write about including but not limited to - infrared photography, photography techniques, history of still life photography, street origins, interviews, 'founders' of Photography, Photography and the media, History of cameras, darkroom, the birth of modern photography...honestly the list is endless!

If Photography ISN'T your thing then there are lots of ways in which you can get involved. Starting tomorrow (October 1st) Digital Art Month launches. So the same applies - if you have anything you think you could contribute then note the ArtHistoryProject and declare that you want to get involved. Here's a schedule of the coming months - if something takes your fancy then PLEASE let the group know!

:bulletblack: October: Digital
:bulletblack: November: Resources and Stock
:bulletblack: December: Artisan Crafts
:bulletblack: January: Photography

To write an article surrounding ANY of the above please note ArtHistoryProject



Many people ask how they can get involved in the community. Well this and projects such as projecteducate are exactly it. You don't have to be a community volunteer to make your mark on other deviants and share a wealth of knowledge that we don't know you have - we're hoping that the projects we work hard on and get involved in will be inspirational and challenging to others, to inspire involvement and community spirit. If you have any questions about anything mentioned in this article just note me - or if it's directly Art History Related you can always note ArtHistoryProject or the Project Lead - DistortedSmile
